GUIDE

Working on wrong side of fabric, fold hem

up. Press and pin in place. Then fold hem
allowance under... leaving %" of hem edge
extending.

Place garment under blind stitch foot with
the fold of the garment against guide and

slide it by turning screw so that the zigzag
just catches the fold. (Blind hemming can be

simplified by also using the special Kenmore

Edgestitcher-please refer to p. 21 for details.)

Now the right side of your garment will show
only the blind stitches ! Be sure to press both

This shell-stitched edge is a popular finish for
lingerie and nightgowns. To achieve this
multiple scalloped effect, allow needle to
clear just the left edge of the fabric when it
